What's the enhancement? Getting notified of your upgrade at the gate?

The popular sectors are hopeless for an upgrade opportunity anyway. Our Delta USA internal flights were always packed, there was never going to be a Y+ seat available, so we came home thinking that little exercise to be a lesson in futility.

And changing it to exclude family members on the same flight itinerary is just plain mean spirited. Although I do concede that some people would exploit this with larger parties, but when you consider that it's only available to SC and WP Velocity members, then I would argue that they've probably flown enough to earn the right.

I'm not a big fan of the C+ upgrades anyway. I keep getting my aisle seat moved to a window on CRJ.

IMO - this isn't an upgrade. Main line flights sure - as long as its not a middle.
